IERROR
Fortran only: Error status (integer).

.SH DESCRIPTION
.ft R
MPI_Type_create_indexed_block and MPI_Type_create_hindexed_block create an indexed data type with the same block length for all blocks. The only difference between the two functions is MPI_Type_create_indexed_block takes an array of displacements in units of the extent of \fIoldtype\fP while MPI_Type_create_hindexed_block takes displacements in bytes.

.SH ERRORS
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ functions do not return errors. If the default error handler is set to MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism will be used to throw an MPI::Exception object.
.sp
Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
